VR Kneeboard

[Kreutzberg]

I'm fairly new to DCS, and mostly fly in VR (mostly in the F/A-18C).  I've been trying to get the kneeboard set up to show things like checklists.  I've used the Kneeboard Builder program to put together a nice package, and it works reasonably well in 2D.

However, when I go to VR (Reverb G2), nothing appears when I attempt to call up the kneeboard with "k" or my HOTAS shortcuts.  I do see a white dot at the center of my head position.  I can see the kneeboard on the pilot body model's knee, but it is small and difficult to read. 

From other discussions, it sounds like the kneeboard should simply pop up in my field of view in addition to being shown on the pilot model's knee. Is that right? Is there a clear workaround? The only other place I could find this issue is in this thread, where is was asked but does not appear to have been addressed: 

 

Thanks, all!

The default kneeboard toggle is RShift+K, which pops open a giant kneeboard window in VR for me.

K alone is 'glance view', which I've never used - maybe it works differently? Give the RShift+K one a try?

I mostly use this app as it is much easier to use and i can write on it:

Thanks. I've mapped some things, and they work well enough in 2D, so I don't think it's the controls.  It does sound like it's supposed to work differently than what I'm seeing.

Thank you for that one, too. That does look promising and may be the best solution. Does it operate through the default kneeboard? I do have a little concern that it might suffer the same issue.

@KreutzbergThat is a 3rd party app running independent from DCS e.g. you can run it without DCS in steamvr. That you can load any pdf/jpg/png is pretty handy.

You have a nice description and links for installer, Discord and Github on the first post of the link RED provided

For what it's worth, the built in kneeboard is working for me with today's patch.  VRK is quite powerful, but a bit overkill for my needs.
